On June 9th 1944 , a Ju188 E or D crashed in Graignes sector Normandy France . Some wrecks have been excataved some year ago . A beautigful BMW801 engine with metal propeller blades , flame damper ,a lot of parts of the egine cowling of the same engien , and some fuselage parts including the samll wheels of the MG131 turret .

So Anyone of you who could have losses recorded at that date is well comme to contact me . The engine is in a museaum and we would like to identify the aircraft it was fitted in .

I now have all the Namentliche Verlustemeldung for all German bomber losses over Normandy during this period. The problem is that very very few locations are given and without a crew man or Wk Nr, to identify positively is nigh impossible. Furthermore, if an ac was lost without any crew casualties (Hogeback was one of these), there is no record unless a War Diary exists. Be very careful of jumping to conclusions!
